Dear Irony...

I wrote this post a little bit ago, but am finally posting it as we have now talked with our kids and making it official...



Dear Irony, I have to congratulate you on your fabulous part in my life. As I look at the name of this blog I giggle... and am sad... Love, ME

For those who don't know, there are many reasons I stopped blogging. But the main reason I didn't start up again as I was setting my life straight was that I was dealing with some major changes. Not to go into many details, but there will be some changes in my blogging, namely, the title of this blog since it is no longer applicable to my life.

My husband, previously known as FiM (my Fix It Man), and I could no longer fix what was beyond repair. We are currently separated and will be filing for divorce as soon as I can get a job with insurance. In the meantime I am trying to deal with sadness, change, shock, loneliness, and the ever-present judging of other people. Unless there is a bit of funny going on in my life from the offspring or from work or anywhere else I might be able to find humor, there won't be a post for that day. I appreciate all those who have been supportive and loving to me and my family. I also appreciate those who haven't judged or just assumed they knew the full story. We both played a part, and for now we are both accepting our parts for messing up what should have been eternal. So for now... here is your assignment America (or world if you are from somewhere else)...

If you have kept up with my blog and kinda/sorta/bitsa/maybe know me then in the comment section give me suggestions for a new blog title. It can be silly, appropriate, or whatever... I just can't deal with ironic anymore. :)

Oh, and one more thing... I don't know what y'all think about this but I am toying with the idea of shutting off comments. So if you have crap to tell me forget about it. One bad comment and they'll be shut off for good. I don't need anyone hating me for JOKING about being a bad mom. I love my kids more than anyone EVER could. The private comments I got about the Neglectful Parents group and awards have convinced me that our society has lost its sense of humor. Buck up people. I need a laugh every once in a while.
